“We were traveling thru and I read about boudin and more importantly how Billy’s was fantastic. We never had boudin as we’re from the north! I will say Billy’s is a must stop even if not staying in the area. We brought a bunch home. Used the leftover crawfish boudin from the night before with scrambled eggs the next morning! It’s my new favorite breakfast item now!”

Beans and Salad

“Absolutely Delicious!
If you’re looking for mouthwatering BBQ packed with flavor, Dominick’s Smoke Wagon is the place to be! The pork steaks are tender and smoky, the BBQ chicken is juicy and seasoned to perfection, and the sausage poboys are downright addictive. Every bite tastes like it’s made with love and skill. The sides—rice dressing, potato salad, and baked beans—are just as amazing, making the whole meal feel like a true Louisiana feast.

The service is warm, friendly, and welcoming, and you can tell they care about their customers.”

“About a year ago I had to come through for my grandmother's funeral and as we were leaving town we were starving. We walked in right as they were closing and while they had every right to refuse they stayed open just a little longer for my wife and I get to a shrimp poboy so we could eat before we got back on the road. It was the absolute best shrimp poboy I've ever eaten. I've chasing that dragon ever since. You owe it to yourself to eat here.”

The chicken cracklins were warm with a light crisp, the boudin was meaty with good flavor, the fried ribs are always our favorite to chew on, the meat pie (meat) is really good and the crawfish pie is my hubby's favorite. Outside, the fuel pumps are roomy and easy to operate. The diesel pumps on the side are very convenient for my hubby's dually. The staff has been really nice and Mr. Hebert is always accommodating if something is needed. Overall, we give it a great review and we're excited they have come to Jennings to open their business”
